Abstract

We present a network-based equity evaluation of tsunami evacuation access for a megathrust scenario in Palabuhanratu, quantifying both individual safety attainment and the spatial distribution of access. By overlaying physics-based inundation data with a road graph, we compute multimodal time-to-safety and isochrones, summarizing village-level access through overall reachability (RR), Gini, and hazard-weighted Gini (Gini*) indices. Evacuation time allowances (ETAs) are set at 22, 18, and 15 minutes—validated against site-specific arrival modeling and real-world departure observations from the 2024 Noto event—revealing a critical temporal tipping point. While an ETA of 22 minutes ensures total reachability (RR=1.00) with low inequality, tightening the window to 18 and 15 minutes sharply reduces RR and increases Gini* scores. Furthermore, the addition of an alternative Tsunami Evacuation Area (TEA) at Smile Hill yields localized time savings and minor gains in specific clusters at 22 minutes, yet provides no systemwide benefit at shorter ETAs, indicating that time scarcity dominates access during tight windows. Methodologically, this study employs "beat-the-wave" logic and least-cost routing on OSMnx/NetworkX graphs, offering a reproducible screening tool that integrates access, fairness, and hazard emphasis for TEA design under time-critical evacuation constraints.

Abstract

Sea surface temperature (SST) plays a key role in modulating tropical convection, yet its influence on the vertical structure of convective clouds in island-based, anti-monsoonal regions remains poorly quantified. This study examines the relationship between SST variability and convective cloud characteristics over the coastal waters of Ambon Island during 2023. Daily SST data were obtained from ERA5 reanalysis, while convective parameters Convective Condensation Level (CCL) and Equilibrium Level (EL) were derived from twice-daily radiosonde observations. Owing to non-normal distributions and serial autocorrelation, Spearman rank correlation was applied with effective sample size (ESS) correction and bootstrap confidence intervals. Results show that SST exhibits a pronounced seasonal cycle primarily governed by monsoonal forcing. SST displays a moderate positive correlation with CCL (ρ = 0.532-0.580) and a consistently strong correlation with EL across all stations (ρ = 0.770-0.778; p_adj < 0.001), indicating a stronger SST control on convective depth than on cloud-base height. Although large-scale climate modes (ENSO, IOD, and MJO) contribute to short-term variability, seasonal monsoonal forcing remains the dominant modulator of SST-convection coupling. These findings represent robust statistical associations and highlight the importance of ocean-atmosphere coupling in regulating convective cloud structure in tropical maritime island environments.

Abstract

Makassar exhibits a typical monsoonal rainfall regime, characterized by a strong annual cycle with peak rainfall occurring in January–February. Understanding the onset of the rainy season in this region is crucial for water resource management and disaster preparedness, yet previous studies have generally relied only on rainfall-based criteria with coarse temporal resolution. This study aims to determine the onset date of the rainy season in Makassar by combining local rainfall anomalies with regional-scale moisture-source trajectories. Daily rainfall data for 1991–2020 were analyzed using harmonic reconstruction to identify the climatological peak of the monsoon season, which then guided the moisture trajectory analysis. The results show that most rainy-season onsets occur in November–December, with high interannual variability influenced by large-scale climate drivers such as ENSO. Moisture transport during the peak rainy months is predominantly derived from the Northern Maritime (58.8%) and Tropical Maritime (40.5%) sources, highlighting the essential role of cross-equatorial water-vapor advection. In addition, changes in zonal wind direction at 850 hPa consistently coincide with the onset, providing an independent dynamical indicator of the transition from dry to wet phase. By explicitly linking rainfall anomalies with the timing of dynamical shifts and dominant moisture pathways, this approach reduces ambiguities commonly found in rainfall-only methods and produces onset estimates that align more closely with regional atmospheric dynamics. Compared to previous rainfall-only approaches, this combined local–regional method provides a more representative onset estimate at daily resolution, offering new insight into the mechanisms of monsoon rainfall in coastal areas of eastern Indonesia.

Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive radar-based analysis of Puting Beliung (PB), Indonesia’s localized tornado phenomenon, using multiple weather radar–derived products. A comparative analysis of ten PB cases was conducted to identify consistent meteorological signatures and variations in tropical storm behavior, motivated by recent observations indicating an increasing frequency of PB events in Indonesia and the need for improved detection methods. Analysis using Rainbow software reveals consistently high reflectivity values ranging from 35 to 60 dBZ, with diverse echo patterns, among which the hook echo is the most dominant. Physical parameters show horizontal wind speeds of 10–30 knots at an altitude of 4 km, horizontal shear of 5–10 m s⁻¹ km⁻¹, and vertical shear of 1–10 m s⁻¹ km⁻¹, while spectral width analysis indicates moderate turbulence with values around 3 m s⁻¹. The Tornadic Vortex Detection (TVD) product identifies potential vortex signatures at six locations, with detected heights ranging from 1.2 to 3.1 km. This study represents the first comprehensive application of multiple radar products for PB characterization in Indonesia and identifies CMAX, HWIND, HSHEAR, and TVD as the most effective products for PB detection and monitoring. These findings provide essential baseline criteria for the development of radar-based early warning systems tailored to Indonesia’s tropical environment, with the potential to reduce the socioeconomic impacts of PB events through improved detection and prediction capabilities.
